The SLO County Jazz Federation is excited to introduce Jamaal Baptiste, the new leader of Jazz Studies at Cal Poly, to our community. We can imagine no better debut than a concert with Jamaal on piano together with local all-star jazz professors Dave Becker and Ron McCarley on saxes and flute, Darrell Voss on drums and Ken Hustad and Dylan Johnson on bass.
Jamaal, a native of Aruba, comes to SLO County from Indiana University. The Latin jazz inspired pianist has been a guest artist and clinician at multiple colleges, festivals and clubs throughout the U.S., Aruba, Austria and South Africa. He's performed with many of the stalwarts of jazz including Gary Bartz, Avery Sharpe, Dave Stryker and Wayne Wallace.
The concert will be on Sunday September 22 at the Mt. Carmel Lutheran Church (1701 Fredericks Street, SLO). The show starts at 4:00pm with doors opening at 3:30.
Tickets are priced at $25 for Jazz Fed. members, $35 for general admission and $10 for students. Advance tickets can be purchased at https://www.my805tix.com/e/the-jazz-professors or at the door. Visit www.slojazz.org for additional information.
